Thanks and yeah I'm a little intimidated by clothes cause i really don't know how lol but as for skin well I watch a lot of tutorials and I've been traditionally painting too so it gets easier to see what colors work with other colors, what i do though when thinking about skin tone is I'd go online and find stock pictures, maybe even pictures of my favorite celebs or anything and put the pic in Photoshop and then I use the eyedropper tool to pick out my favorite shades until I come up with base tones to start off with, then I add some blues and purples and greens and other colors to make it come to life and then I save it into a custom swatch thingy lol but that's my method anyway.From there I just try to stick to hi lghts mid lights and low lights, then sades areas and things like that, I do a lot of drawing and usually work with graphite so between grays and blacks and whites it's easier to see where the shades go. I know some people actually paint in black and white and gray first then add color later, that's a method too.
